OptionTrade is a broker subject to CySec regulation (license no.: 183/12). There are three types of accounts available: Standard, Premium and VIP. The higher the account goes, the more assets to be had. Also, there are higher returns and unlimited access to educational materials. How is it in detail?

A Standard account can be registered with "just" $250, which seems like a lot for a basic account. What do we get? At least 80 assets, 83% return on the winning options and a limited access to webinars and training (level 1).

A Premium account is for those willing to deposit at least $1000. In return, you have access to 120 assets and the maximum return is 85%. You also gain access to the video library with tutorials, which aim at upgrading your trading abilities, or workshops and webinars at a higher level.

As far as a VIP account goes, you need $5000 to start, but you get at least 180 assets and 88% maximum return. The educational materials here are more advanced and we can use the services of an expert.

Here is a table with all the details:

There is a demo account for each type of the accounts above.

OptionTrade platform

OptionTrade makes use of 2.0 SpotOption platform, an upgraded version of the basic SpotOption. What changed the most? The visual aspect of the platform, which makes navigation much easier. The platform guarantees access to ~200 assets (VIP accounts): currencies, commodities, stocks, indices. The highest return possible – 88% (VIP accounts), but the Standard 83% is also respectable.

There are the classic high/low options, short-­term options (60, 90, 120, 180, 300 seconds), long-­term options (that can be activated even a year ahead), one-­touch, pair options and ladder trading.

You can open a classic option up to 5 minutes before its expiry time. A special timer shows you how much time there is left to make up your mind. The closer to the expiry time you get, the more time options there are.

What should be also pointed out is that there are many additional features: rollover, double-up, sell option, multi­-view, history graph, trade confirmation and stock pair.

OptionTrade deposits and withdrawals

Your first deposit must be equal or more than $250. Your next deposit may start at $50. When it comes to the electronic methods of payment, the minimum to withdraw has been set at $10. There are no fees for depositing/withdrawing using the electronic methods.

DEMO account

The broker offers a demo account without any principal paid. It's enough to start setting up the account and then choose "Accounts Overview" and "Open Demo Account". Your account will have 1000 virtual dollars so that you can test the platform and your strategies.

Client support

Direct support as well as contacting the account's manager are very professionally handled: 24 hours, 5 days a week (Monday to Friday). You can contact them via e­-mail, chat or phone (+357-­24-­020054).

Educational materials

Here's where OptionTrade stands out: you can start with a pretty straight-forward guide to binary options and an interactive e-­book. To do so, you might need the glossary with all the necessary terms. Once you're done – or if you're already quite advanced – you can go to the OptionTrade Academy with separate multimedia for the beginners and for the advanced.

What is a trend? What is a line of support/resistance? What are the basic technical analysis formations (Shooting star, Harami formation or Three white soldiers)?

Bonus

You can get 100% of your deposit, but no more than $500. It's added to a separate account, "Bonus Account", and must be 20 times the value received to be eligible for a withdrawal. There are no time limits.

OptionTrade SCAM?

There are many different opinions online, but we have found none suggesting that this broker is a scam. We haven't found or received a single complaint regarding the way this platform works. It also important that the broker owns a recognizable Forex brand which belongs to Investors Compensation Fund (ICF) meaning that deposits up to €20,000 are protected against insolvency.

According to the broker it has been audited by KPMG.

Summary

OptionTrade has made quite an impact on the binary options market and soon became a part of the market's landscape. It's clear to see that the website, as well as its educational part, were done professionally. This broker is for short-­ and long-­term traders, since you can set up your options even a year ahead. The initial deposit, $250, is quite a challenge, but a demo account can be registered anytime, by anyone.
